The San Diego Wave and Portland Thorns exchanged goals in the final minutes and played to a 1-1 draw in the National Women’s Soccer League on Friday night.

Sofia Jakobsson ran onto Jaedyn Shaw’s long pass and tried to slip the ball around goalkeeper Bella Bixby, who blocked it. The rebound went to Jakobsson, who capitalized on her second chance in the 86th minute.

On Portland’s 10th corner kick of the game, rookie Reyna Reyes scored her first professional goal on a header from the far post in the 90th minute. Sam Coffey earned the assist.
